Screenwriter's Bible: A Complete Guide to Writing, Formatting & Selling Your Script Paperback – 7 August 2014

It’s essential for anyone who is planning to write scripts

Best book which will get you brainstormed regarding writing a script with right screen play and sell it

It's superb book for beginners writer.

Book is good but priced very high. Also the printing and binding does not match the standards. Content is good. BUT OVERALL THE SERVICE BY MILLENIALS IS VERY PROMISING. They go an extra step to provide information and support.

worth one to start with screenplays

A must for every story teller.

it is a one of its kind book and I am extremely happy i bought it

Excellent book....

I bought this book years ago when I was in film school, and I'll be honest I didn't use it as much until after I graduated because I started working immensely on my scripts. It has helped abundantly! Incredibly encouraging style! Yes, it is hefty in size (over 400 pages) but it's worth the amount and time to read. All the advice and structure helps with different aspects of the industry, from formatting spec scripts, query letters, tips on dialogue, it's incredible! Without being overbearing, it's well organized.I recently found out about the 7th edition so I also have that for informational and new industry standard comparisons. So far it seems to be a bit more condensed in certain chapters compared to the 6th but overall still hefty. Some paragraphs are removed for clarity, some are added. I prefer the 6th in some ways because of the organization but both are fantastic. Also, the order of the table of contents is rearranged a little in the 7th edition.

Excelente libro, muy entendible y útilEn cuanto al envío, llegó antes de lo estimado

This book is awesome! It covers everything you need to know, and does so in a clear, easily digestible manner.It consists of five major sections (or as the writer calls them, "books")1) How to Write a Screenplay: A Primer2) 7 Steps to a Stunning Script: A Workbook3) Proper Formatting Technique: A Style Guide4) Writing and Revising Your Breakthrough Script: A Script Consultant's View5) How to Sell Your Script: A Marketing PlanSo when we're talking about the screenwriting process, this book really takes you from the beginning stages all the way through to the end. It's a marvelous resource to have for anyone who is interested in the subject, and I highly recommend it.

This book had many useful tips but did not provide the template for screenplay presentation I was looking for.

This is the best and clearest book on screenwriting I have seen to date. The chapter on formatting screenplays is very sensible too.I'm comparing this to "The Hollywood Standard" by Christopher Riley - which is a good book - and "The Complete Guide to Standard Script Formats - Part 1: The Screenplay" by Cole and Haag - which is dated, disorganised and inconsistent (compare the contradictory formatting advice on pages 5 and 11).Trottier's book uses very clear examples of well known and up-to-date films, although he doesn't cover how screenplays are revised during film production; you'll need "The Hollywood Standard" to explain how that works (coloured paper, revision marks, 'A' pages, page numbering, etc.).I'd reserve the Cole and Haag book to the 'interesting reading' category.
